As part of the UTLA conferences: Kristin BARTIK: Liquid water: a necessary condition for all forms of life in the universe? Kristin BARTIK, who teaches organic chemistry and biological chemistry at the ULB School of Engineering, leads a research group working in the field of supramolecular chemistry. Her work focuses on the development of molecular receptors for the selective detection of analytes in water. She collaborates with numerous laboratories in European consortia. After serving as Vice-Dean of the ULB School of Engineering in charge of research (2012-2016), and Vice-Rector of the ULB in charge of university strategy and institutional relations (2017-2020), Kristin Bartik was appointed in October 2020 as Advisor to the Rector for Diplomatic Relations. In March 2023, she was elected a full member of the Technology and Society Class of the Royal Academy of Belgium. Since 2005, she has been the Managing Director of the Wiener Anspach Foundation, which promotes academic exchanges between the ULB and the universities of Oxford and Cambridge (United Kingdom). Liquid water: a necessary condition for all forms of life in the universe? Liquid water is an essential component of life as we know it today on Earth. Researchers interested in the origin of life, biological evolution, or the search for possible extraterrestrial life naturally question the necessary relationship between life and liquid water. Solvents such as methane, ammonia, or formamide are sometimes mentioned as potentially supporting life. However, water is a solvent with unique physicochemical properties and especially a remarkable structuring power, making it unlikely that life could arise without it.
